Ultra-swimmer aims to break record for longest distance swum in a pool in a week

Ross Edgley, an endurance swimmer, is attempting to break a world record for longest distance swimming in a pool in seven days

The challenge, which will take place at the Best Centre in Mallorca, Spain between May 19 and May 26, will see the 38-year-old swim for an average of 15 to 18 hours per day while working with sports scientists to determine how his calorie intake impacts his swimming.Mr Edgley said he lost weight during training, dropping from 102kg to 80kg, describing it as a difficult but necessary part of the challenge.

“It’s weird that your mind goes to some strange places. People say, ‘what do you think about?’ and I’m like, ‘Greek mythology’.” “Because that’s one thing that so often will stop some of the best athletes in the world. They will just physiologically implode from their digestive system because they’ve not trained it.
